Hello there, everyone!! I'm Jess, and I'm "new" to the board (joined last year, just haven't ever posted anything). TBM is and has been my favorite band since 2008 when I first discovered them when they opened for MSI at the Webster in Hartford, CT. I was lucky enough to meet them at the Fete Ballroom during their tour in 2015 and they were quite possibly the nicest band I have ever met. My favorite memory is that Chibi kept sniffing me and saying I smelt good because I smelt like baby powder, which to this day makes me crack up. That and group sandwich hugs. I also scored a studio spot with their pledge campaign so I'm definitely excited for that. Outside of TBM, I'm fairly artsy, like a wide array of music. love being outdoors, reading, tea, road trips, and traveling. I don't really know what else to say about me but I look forward to "meeting" you all and being a part of this community

Welcome to the forum. It's great to see another new member here - boards aren't as active as they once were (probably due to Facebook rendering places like this obsolete.)

They are genuinely lovely people. I'll be seeing them again soon for their UK tour. Congratulations on the studio spot, I vowed to grab a spot next time they do a Pledge Campaign.

Have you listened to all their stuff? Got a favourite album? I recently got a friend/co-worker into them. They've only listened to the Superstition album but are hooked (was hoping they'd come to the concert with me but unfortunately short notice will make it impossible.)

What art stuff are you into? I'd like to get back to being arty, my creativity is rather anaemic right now.

i'd have to say my favorite albums are a tie between Violet and Pins and Needles, although it's tough to really pick. My favorite song has stayed Lovers End through all these years. I'm really looking forward to seeing what their new album brings us. What about you, what is your favorite? How many times have you seen the band live?

I'm really into writing. I used to do a lot of creative writing, stories and poems. Haven't done it in quite some time though. And I love to draw. I used to have a sketchbook full of different works but also really haven't done it as much as I'd like lately.

HAHAHA! reading & tea. otherwise it sounds like I like reading boxes of tea for fun

Fave song - The Dream (both versions). Fave albums are Violet, Walking With Strangers and Superstition. It's hard to pick though as they're all closely loved (they're one of those 'love every song' band for me, other being Gorillaz.)

I've seen the band live once when they came to the UK. They were so sweet to me. Gave me free merch as I had no money. I'd pirated all their stuff at that point and felt bad and now I have a job I am eager to support them. (See here: http://board.violetprison.com/showth...=3&page=29#422*)

Oh yay, I also became a fan in 2008 too! Heard them in the Never Wanted To Dance remix and instantly loved their sound. It's so wonderful that you got to meet them and have special memories from those moments ^.^

Very happy to see a new member, I definitely hope to see you around here more!
